Chapter 161: Remain Calm When Accidents Happen

Senior Bai turned towards them with anger in his eyes.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

“Senior Bai, I’m really sorry.” Dou Xiangling who reacted first had stepped forward to apologize. “I wasn’t aware you were in the middle of a painting and so I didn’t silence my phone. I’m really sorry for causing a disturbance.”

Zi Yi looked at Dou Xiangling who was in a hurry to apologize and checked the caller ID on her phone. It was from He Fei.

She directly hung up the call, put away her phone, and looked at Senior Bai. “It’s my phone.”

Before Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling managed to react, she walked over to Senior Bai’s side and glanced at his painting.

Senior Bai had painted a picture of a horse running wildly across mountains. He was originally painting a horse hoof and that accidental stroke had cut through the horse’s thigh. It had indeed ruined the whole painting.

Zi Yi pointed at the thigh, then looked at Senior Bai and said, “You can draw two frightened birds here.”

The Dou Family’s siblings were shocked out of their wits.

How did their cousin have the courage to speak to Senior Bai like that?

Senior Bai was also surprised. A young brat had unexpectedly given him guidance?!

Seeing that Senior Bai remained unmoved, Zi Yi turned to Dou Xiangling. “Cousin, come here.”

Dou Xiangling subconsciously walked over.

Without waiting for Senior Bai to respond, she pulled out the painting brush from his hand, dipped the tip of the brush into the pain before she handed it to her cousin. “Add two songbirds here in a way where they are panicking due to not having enough time to escape.”

“Cousin Yiyi, you…”

“Hurry.”

Zi Yi looked at the panicking Dou Xiangling with a pair of comforting eyes.

Dou Xiangling suddenly felt confident deep down. In any case, they had already ruined Senior Bai’s painting so why didn’t she heed her cousin’s wishes and add an additional few strokes?

With that thought in mind, she hastily drew the songbirds.

“Xiangling, don’t fool around!”

Dou Zerui looked at Senior Bai’s darkened expression and felt that his sister had been brainwashed by the devil by allowing Zi Yi to fool around and even joined in herself. Hasn’t she ever thought that if she really offended Senior Bai, what are the possible consequences?

Senior Bai was extremely angry. However, the moment Dou Xiangling started to paint, he did not stop her actions. He merely looked at her quick movements.

After a while, his eyes lit up.

At the same time, Dou Xiangling had finished adding the final touches. “I’m done.”

Having said that, she pulled Zi Yi’s hand and they gave Senior Bai some space.

Senior Bai looked at the painting before him and his voice was trembling with excitement. “Young lady, how did you think of adding two songbirds here?”

“Since they are horses running in the mountains and with the speed they are travelling at, there would definitely be songbirds who did not manage to fly away in time.”

Senior Bai thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. “You’re right! Why didn’t I think of this?”

After which, he carefully appreciated his painting. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was. “These two frightened birds do make the painting more artistic and spiritual after they were added.”

He then looked at Zi Yi. “Young lady, could it be that you know how to draw too?”

“I know a little. I’m just more fond of looking at paintings.”

Speaking of this, she pushed out Dou Xiangling. “Since the problem has been resolved, there should be nothing for me to do here. You two can talk.”

Senior Bai looked at the beautiful and delicate young lady as he nodded in his heart. He then shifted his gaze to Dou Xiangling. “Little Dou, is she your younger sister?”

“Senior Bai, her name is Zi Yi, and she’s my cousin.”

“Yiyi… Haha… this is a good name. It’s easy to remember!”

Senior Bai led them over to his sofa and they started to discuss business after they sat down.

Zi Yi quietly sat there while Dou Zerui looked at her with a surprised gaze. With an indifferent expression, she took out her phone to check it. As expected, there were several missed calls and text messages.
